4 Trip TO Washington.

Miss Georgia Lamme, of BoaemHn who
is'now attending Lasell Seminary at Bos-
ton, in company with twenty-five school,
mates recently visited Washington and
other cities, and upon her return wrote
an interesting account of her trip for
the seminary paper; a lively account of
objects and places which we deem of great
interest to her friends in Bozeman and
therefore reproduce 1t in full:-"Wednes-
day afternoon, March 30, the Auburndale
station was all alive with Lasell girls,
each bidding goodby to every one else
not ever excepting those who were to be
of the party bound for Washington. All
the trunks and girls being aboard, gossa-
mers, umbrellas. bags, shawl.straps, can
dy-boxes, and noses were counted, and
10 the wonderful Hub was reached, only
however to be forsaken Immediately for
the cars to Fall River, and the steamer,
its music, and its-well, fresh air.
Seven o'clock Thursday morning found
some wenty-three girls from" Lasell Sem
mary for Young Women" in New York
City. All the baggage being disposed of
these same young women rode, not one
of them knew where, until they came to
a corner at the junction of two wide
streets when all stood half an hour in
the cold, delicious morning air, waiting
for the appearance of the amiable con-
ductor of the party. Every one then
proceeded to enjoy a rare treat is seeing
the famous Russian Wedding" A long
ride brought aforesaid party to another
large, roomy corner, which according to
custom, was duly ornamented, until the
carriages for the drive through Centr a
Park. There, the sculpture, the paint
ings, the stuffed animals, the live animals

panzee, Croton Lake-everything to be
seen, we saw. Then came dinner at the
Grand Central Hotel, followed by a rush
for the two-o'clock train to Washington.
Now for n grand and only dose of
weather. Before leaving Auburndale,
the wind had been blowing quite hard;
in New York the sun was shining bright
iy (for reference, see almost any gram
mar) in Philadelphia, Il heavy drizzle
was coming down; in Baltimore the snow
completely covered the pine-trees, max.
ing them look like heavy, curled ostrich
plumes; in Washington, the rain was
pouring down when we arrived, Thurs
day evening, at the Ebbitt House; for the
remainder of the week, the days were as
bright and sunny as could be desired.
We found at the hotel MIR. and Mrs.
Emery, of Bradford, Penn. friends Of
Miss zeile, whose pleasant company and
interest in our behalf were very compli-
mentary, and who were with us until
Monday.
Next morning, the Treasury building
had the pleasure of seeing our bright,
lovely faces, as did also piles of money,
and Senator Biddis, to whom we were
introduced, and who, in turn, after point
ing out counterfeited bills and the photo
graphs of their makers, introduced us to
Capt. Brooks, chief of the Secret Service.
The machines of the ~life-saving service
were explained. and we proceeded to
cheer up President Cleveland at his pub
lie reception by a hand-shake, and re-
fresh ourselves afterwards in the open
air by a scarcely suppressed giggle.
Corcoran Art Gallery was then visited.
Among the many beautiful gems were
the two paintings, Charlotte Corday"
and 1.-THE Vestal Virgin" the bronze
room is said to contain the finest eollec.
ten in the world; and in one of the
